One, two, three, four Went out with the guys, And before my eyes, There was this girl she looked so fine, And she blew my mind, And I wish that she was mine. And I said hey wait up 'cause I'm off to speak to her And my friends say You're never gonna get that girl, never gonna get that girl, I don't care. You're never gonna get that girl, never gonna get that girl, And I loved her long blond hair, Love was in the air. You're never gonna get that girl, never gonna get that girl, She looked at me, You're never gonna get that girl, never gonna get that girl, And the rest is history. Dude you're being silly cause your never gonna get that girl, And your never gonna get the girl. We spoke for hours, She took off my trousers, Spent the day laughing in the sun, We had fun. And my friends they all looked stunned, (Yeah yeah) Dude she's amazing and I can't believe you got that girl. My friends said she's amazing and I can't believe you got that girl, She gave me more street cred. I took the book she read How could I forget, She rocks my world. More than any other girl, Dude she's amazing and I can't believe uve got that girl And I can't believe you got the girl She looked incredible Just turned seventeen I guess my friends were right She's out of my league What am I to do? She's too good to be true One, two, three, four But three days later went round to see her But she was with another guy And I said fine but I never asked her why And since then loneliness has been a friend of mine My friends said such a pity I let her slip away They tell me every day That it will be okay Yeah she rocks my world More than any other girl yeah Dude its such a pity and I'm sorry that you lost that girl And I'm sorry that you lost that girl
